1,532 RIT students are now taking courses online, with some students enrolled in more than one of these classes. This fall, four-year and community colleges in the Rochester area are offering 556 online courses that have an enrollment of 15,859, with the actual number of students taking these courses being smaller since some take multiple courses. In addition, thousands more students are enrolled in courses that have an online component, such as the professor delivering the lecture online, so classroom time can be used for discussion. Online courses can connect students around the globe with a college. Hongqian Tan, who studied music at Nazareth College last school year, is now taking an online course from Nazareth about the history of piano music from her home in Shandong, China.
